The rising redshirt sophomore said he did the same last spring and summer, but has also enlisted some teammates to join him in staying off those sites. Freshman Eldridge Massington, an early enrollee, has already broken the pact.

Hundley admits that it's not easy; sometimes he finds himself clicking on the Twitter icon simply out of pure habit.

"It's showing dividends," he said of his self-imposed blackout. "I think it clears your mind, no distractions, and lets you focus on football, school and the things outside electronics and what other people are saying."

He added that this spring, the Bruins have been able to run through spring camp more smoothly. Many have noted that Bruins coach Jim Mora isn't quite as hard on them as he was when he first arrived; Hundley believes the "bad habits" the team had that year have since been broken.

As for his own personal development, the 6-foot-3 signal-caller said he's focusing more on precise areas of his game.

"My last offseason was more about footwork and fundamentals and knowing the offense," he said. "Every time you get better at something, you've got to find more detailed things to improve on.

"Now, you may not see me running back and forth and dropping the whole field on my footwork, but now you may see me work on the little things."

Making a switch

Senior Keenan Graham is trying to find his niche. After getting reps as an outside linebacker and fullback, he's reverted back to his more natural position at defensive end.

Now at 6-foot-1, 250 pounds, he's put on 5 to 10 pounds since last season and is looking to add another five before the season starts.

Technique-wise, he is paying particular attention to wrapping and containing on the edge.

With the position group so battered - missing Owamagbe Odighizuwa, Ellis McCarthy and Brandon Tuliaupupu - Graham is getting plenty of run this spring.

"We have a lot of outside linebackers," Graham said. "Even though I wouldn't mind playing outside linebacker, I feel like we need D-linemen. If I can go down there and contribute that way, I'm more than happy to.

"We're rolling out there with about four guys. It's a little tiring."

Spring spectacular

Mora renamed next Saturday's spring game at the Rose Bowl the "Spring Spectacular." Because of numerous injuries, the Bruins will only take around 60 live snaps rather than a full-game's worth of about 100.

However, there will be more interaction with fans, including challenges such as quarterback accuracy, pass-catching, and a 40-yard dash. Prizes will be available, as well as a chance to launch fireworks from inside the Rose Bowl.

Mora added that he wants 51,001 to attend the spring game. He'd heard that Kentucky drew 51,000 for its spring game, and jokingly added a challenge to fans: "We can't do it."
